The Are Ya Well Podcast

Who is Faheem Muhammad—and why is no one talking about him? In this explosive bonus episode, I dive into the mysterious figure behind Diddy's security team: Faheem Muhammad. From discovering Michael Jackson's body at just 22 to owning 128 acres of land right on the Mexican border, Faheem's story is wild—and deeply suspicious. Why hasn't he been subpoenaed? Could his land be linked to the trafficking allegations at the heart of this case? Let's connect the dots.Sources:Faheem Muhammed at the U.S-Mexican Border - Please Watch!!!!

It's been a week of twists and new names in the headlines. Capricorn Clark steps into the spotlight. Deonte Nash—once Cassie's stylist, now a voice in the unfolding drama. And Victim 4, known as Mia, emerges with a story that adds even more weight to an already explosive case.Meanwhile, Diddy's legal team tried (and failed) to secure a mistrial, as new charges of witness tampering surface—yet another crack in the carefully curated facade.But here's the real question... where is everyone else? For a case this deep, this sprawling, this rotten—why does it still feel like only one man is being burned? When the dominoes first started falling, many hoped this would be the reckoning not just for Diddy, but for the entire Hollywood machine that protected him.So far? Crickets.In this episode, we dig into what's been revealed, what's being hidden, and who still isn't being held accountable.Sources: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c39xp379p0zo https://www.reuters.com/world/sean-diddy-combs-lawyer-seeks-mistrial-sex-trafficking-trial-2025-05-28/https://www.vulture.com/article/diddy-trial-week-3-testimony-capricorn-clark.html Hosted on Acast.

This week, we dive into Week 3 of the Sean "Diddy" Combs federal trial, where chilling testimonies exposed the extent of alleged abuse, control, and intimidation. Key witnesses—including Cassie's mother, her former best friend Kerry Morgan, Dawn Richard, George Kaplan, and Kid Cudi—detailed disturbing accounts of violence, threats, and cover-ups. We explore what a RICO charge could mean, why Kristina Khorram might be a critical missing piece, and how this case is unveiling the dark underbelly of celebrity culture. We're talking Molotov cocktails, secret payments, baby oil stockpiles, and systemic silence.This isn't just a trial—it's a reckoning.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual violence, drug abuse, domestic violence, and sex trafficking.We're now in Week 2 of the trial, and the testimony from Victim Number 1 — who we now know is Cassie Ventura — has sent shockwaves through the courtroom. Her statements are explosive, emotional, and deeply revealing.We break down the most critical moments from her testimony, what it could mean for the case, and why the jury makeup — 8 men and 4 women — raises serious questions about how this trial might unfold.Could this go in any direction? Absolutely. We're watching history being made — and possibly justice, too.Sources: Just In the Nick of Crime Substack BBC Cassie Ventura on Witness Stand Business Insider, Biggest bombshells from the Diddy Trial What we Leanred from Cassies Testimony, Sky News Hosted on Acast.

We're diving into Days 2 and 3 of the Diddy trial—and while jury selection isn't usually the most thrilling part of a case, this one's got some unexpected twists.

Hey friends, in this episode I'm breaking down what went down on Day 1 of the Diddy trial. The trial officially kicked off on Monday, May 5th in Manhattan. Since this is a federal case, the general public isn't allowed inside the courtroom—but a few members of the press and close family are permitted, mainly to protect the privacy and safety of the jurors.So here's what we know so far: twelve jurors will be selected, along with six alternates. Opening statements are expected to begin on May 12, and the entire trial is anticipated to run for at least eight weeks. Stay tuned—I'll be keeping you posted every step of the way.If you are new to this case or want to undersatnd it in greater detail please go back to previous episode, linked below;The Diddy Saga Part 1 The Diddy Saga Part 2 Don't forget to follow me so you are first to be updated!Sources;In the Nick of Crime Sam Crouppen - Secret Service Sam CBS News Kent Law Firm - Shaun Kent Hosted on Acast.

The Justin Bieber of It AllIn this episode, I get down and dirty with what I really believe is going on in Justin Bieber's life right now—and no, it's not what the mainstream media or social media would have you believe. I don't think he's spiraling over an ex or dealing with some dramatic financial fallout. It's deeper than that.Justin is taking on some seriously powerful players in the music industry, and I believe they're trying to destroy him. Add to that the looming Diddy trial—which has to be incredibly triggering for him—and the nonstop noise in the press about his wife… it's a lot. And it's all connected.I start to unpack it here. There are so many layers to Justin's story, and while I don't dive into every single one just yet, if you're into this episode, let me know—comment, leave a review, and I'll keep going.If you want to reach out to me with any information please mail laura@umbrellawellness.ie Sources:Candace Owens: What Did Diddy do to Justin Bieber Candace Owens: I know the truth about Justin Bieber Gene Deal Reveals what diddy did to Usher to send him to Hospital Gene Deal Expoises Diddys Dark Secrets Justin Bieber 3 years old Yummy Music Video Justin Bieber Zane Lowe Interview 2020 Seasons Justin Bieber Justin Bieber: The Next Chapter Justin Biebers Team Gives Statement, Cosmopolitan Hosted on Acast.

Today's conversation is nothing short of incredible. I'm joined by David Gorman, a man who has completely transformed his life after years of struggle.David grew up in Coolock in a loving home with a happy childhood, but by 23, he had fallen into the grip of cocaine addiction—a battle that consumed the next five years of his life.At his lowest, David faced unimaginable hardship. He lost 30kg, endured drug-induced psychosis, accumulated €40,000 in debt, and struggled with suicidal thoughts. One night, he found himself sitting on a motorway, ready to end it all.Desperate for change, he moved to Denmark, but his addiction only deepened. It wasn't until he finally got clean and relocated to Sweden that his true recovery began. Now, 3.5 years sober, David has rebuilt his life in extraordinary ways.Today, he works as a supervisor at the very organization that once helped him, guiding young adults impacted by addiction. He's also built a thriving online coaching business, using his powerful story to inspire and support others on their own journeys to recovery.This conversation is raw, real, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

Join me for Part 2 as we take a deep dive into Nicola and Paul's relationship—the manipulation, the abuse, and ultimately, the journey to breaking free.This episode explores the complexities of coercive control, the emotional and psychological toll of abuse, and the strength it takes to reclaim independence. If you've been following this story, you won't want to miss this crucial chapter.

I have the wonderful Nicola Hanney on the podcast today—someone I am proud to call a friend. Nicola is a coercive control survivor who has bravely shared her story. She has spoken about the terror she felt, fearing that her former partner, a Garda, would use his position to ‘come after' anyone she turned to for help.At the time, Nicola was a young mother battling a terminal cancer diagnosis. Over the four years they knew each other, she received more than 30,000 messages from him—many of them vile, abusive, and threatening.In 2022, Garda Paul Moody became one of the first people in Ireland to be jailed for coercive control after pleading guilty to abusing Nicola over that period.Now, Nicola has written a powerful new book, Stronger: What Didn't Kill Me, Made Me, detailing her journey from survivor to advocate. This is one of my favorite books of all time. I went in not fully understanding coercive control and finished it with nothing but deep compassion for anyone experiencing it.Nicola has helped so many simply by sharing her story. After she spoke out, an avalanche of women came forward. Beyond her bravery, Nicola is a truly beautiful person—her kindness and light radiate from her. I can't say enough good things about her.Find Nicola:InstagramFacebook Link to her Book Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello friends, This week, I'm diving deep into my obsession: the Diddy scandal. Since November 2023—when Cassie Ventura's shocking accusations of abuse surfaced—I've been conducting my own research into everything Diddy and boy, is it grimey.... But here's the thing: this scandal goes far beyond Diddy himself. The real question is, who else is involved in this alleged racketeering and sex trafficking conspiracy? The answer: many. Some of the names being uncovered are truly unexpected, and it's been tough for me to see people I've admired in the industry in such a different light.  In this 30-minute episode, I give you an overview of everything that's unfolded so far—who's being implicated, what's being covered up, and how deep this conspiracy may run. And trust me, I've got plenty more research to share if you want me to dive even deeper! ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses topics including child sexual abuse (CSA), violence, drugs, and abuse. Listener discretion is advised. Everything in this episode is alleged, but it'll definitely make you think twice about some of your favorite celebrities. I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you're craving more, let me know—I've got a ton more to uncover!   Sources:  The Sean Combs Indictment  Katt Williams Interview on Club Shay Shay  Jaguar Wright Diddy Do It People Magazine - A timeline of sexual assault allegations against Diddy, including details on his legal battles: People.com article on Diddy​( In-depth coverage of the racketeering and sex trafficking charges: AOL News article​  Detailed reporting on the federal indictment and other accusations: TheGrio article
